5 I tell you, no! But unless you repent, you too will all perish.”Lk 13:5 do penance.
2 and saying, “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven has come near.”Matt 3:2 do penance.
Did the kjv boys negate the word of God by changing it from doing penance for your sins to repent or confess your sin?[/QUOTE
penance
/ˈpɛnəns/
noun
God does not require us to punish ourselves. In his love he forgives our sins when we turn to Jesus in a act of repentance - that is turning our back on sin. And that is the act that gives us new birth in Christ.
- 1.punishment inflicted on oneself as an outward expression of repentance for wrongdoing:"he had done public penance for those hasty words"
- 2.a sacrament in which a member of the Church confesses sins to a priest and is given absolution.

More modernly referred to as Repentence Faith. It means to admit the sin, ask for forgiveness, and do your utmost to not do it again.
"Penance" is a "cult of the virgin" mistranslation of the word "repentance", that was created by a really bad translation of the "Latin" text that was created by Jerome.
Because of this horrible mistranslation, one good thing happened and one bad thing continues.
The good.. is that Martin Luther realized that Jerome was a really bad Translator, who recreated verses, which caused Martin Luther to begin to reject the "cult of the Virgin", that led to the "Protestant reformation".
The bad.... is that because of this horrible mistranslation, billions of catholics are sent to do some Legalistic Cross rejecting "work" as if this can justify them.
Why do we need to punish ourselves when Jesus has already paid the price in full for our sin. He took the punishment and we are redeemed through that.I can’t help it if you insist on a faulty translation of scripture
it’s do penance for your sins
Make reparation to God’s justice
These are not penance. They are the normal way of life for a Christian.Three things constitute penance!
prayer, alms, fasting!
Jesus did not say if you do these but when you do them!
so they are required
Mary our divine mother! Lk 1:49

We are still required to do penance
And because Jesus already forgave our sin we do not need absolution from a man/priest.
He gave them the power to forgive sins! Jn 20:23
Your dictionary is referring to penance’s or self-denial such as Lk 9:23 and would be part of austerity under fasting!
if he did all for us explain?
Luke 9:23
And he said to them all, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me.
Luke 14:27
And whosoever doth not bear his cross, and come after me, cannot be my disciple.
Only the "cult of the virgin" teaches that mary is divine.
The Bible does not teach this..
The bible says that "mary is blessed among women"..but the "cult of the virgin" teaches that she is blessed above women.
Did you ever notice that from the Cross, Jesus didnt call mary his "mother".
He called her "woman".
Catholics should take note of this, asap and repent of their "mary lies".
